But if you can't make it to the Big Easy, you're still in luck: New York's JVC Jazz Festival is just around the corner, Montreal is getting geared up for its own jazz celebration, and, bolstered by his posthumous Pulitzer Prize last week, celebrations of the centennial of Duke Ellington's birth abound.
